Bream comp at Sanctuary Cove boat show
Weigh in for bream-fishing tournament at Sanctuary Cove boat showThe inaugural 2016 SCIBS Live Bream Shoot Out, a family-friendly winner-takes-all contest, will be held over the Saturday and Sunday of the Sanctuary Cove boat show from May 21 to 22.
All entrants must have their own boat: a tinnie, RIB or any kind of registered boat and each team must consist of two people. Entry fees are $50 per person, with competitors heading out at 6am anywhere from Jumpinpin to the Nerang River (bearing in mind the exclusion zones).
Entrants are able to bring back a maximum of 10 fish per team in line with Fisheries Queensland daily catch limits.
The Queensland 7 News weather presenter and fishing reporter Paul Burtwill will host the event at SCIBS. He said the format of the tournament meant all amateur anglers were able to register, while the broader public could enjoy the spectacle of the weigh-in and release of the day’s catch.
"Competitors will return for a 1pm weigh-in each day and their fish are released into the Shimano Super Tank so everybody can see them," Burt said.
"Then the winning team receives the $3,000 prize pool on the Sunday before the fish are released back to the water."
The 2016 SCIBS Live Bream Shoot Out will add another element to a new and diverse program of events at this year’s show.
"The boating lifestyle goes beyond the biggest and newest boats. It’s accessible to everybody. All around Australia, from dams and rivers to the Gold Coast canals, Broadwater and ocean, it can be enjoyed with a rod and reel, or just sitting with a nice meal and a water view."
Places are limited with team participation being capped at 50. For full details visit www.sanctuarycoveboatshow.com.au.
